SB 848 enhances school safety by requiring stronger safeguards to prevent child abuse and misconduct by school employees and volunteers. The bill expands background checks, reporting requirements, and training standards across public, charter, and private schools. It ensures school safety plans address the protection of students from sexual abuse, requires timely reporting and investigation of egregious misconduct, and improves transparency in hiring practices. These reforms help close dangerous loopholes and create safer learning environments for all California students.
